Is there fRename function that works with Long File Names?

Yes, there is! ;-))
There is a MoveFileA function in the Windows API to accomplish that. We can make a wrapper for it like this:

DLL32 FUNCTION                        ;
            RENAMELFN( cSource AS LPSTR,    ;
                 cTarget AS LPSTR)    ;
      AS BOOL PASCAL FROM "MoveFileA" ;
      LIB "Kernel32.DLL"

We can use it this way:

RenameLFN("c:\my documents\Letter to Bill.doc",;
                     "c:\my documents\Letter to Hillary.doc" )
